I get it. But George was not a gun nut. He was a want to be law enforcement nut.
I wasn't suggesting George was. I was asking, maybe poorly, if the passionate pro-gun movement (probably a better term then gun nut) liked to jump on the bandwagon of these such cases for fear of their rights being threatened.
As an aside, I think the passionate, sometimes even radical, gun enthusiast are to be lesser worried about than a city dwelling first time gun owning action movie watcher, which would be how I'd imagine George.
Simple answer, Yes.
Longer answer, Every time something happens where a gun is involved and the media grabs ahold of it, The NRA, which I am a member of, starts mass e-mailing all its members and alerting them that something is in the wind. Then the rest of the pro gun groups follow the NRA's lead and start beating their, they are comming for our guns, drums. Before long the FaceBook posts start and the lunchroom conversations begin. In a matter of days these special interest groups have a good portion of the gun owners all riled up and screaming, From My Cold Dead Hands.
